                    "status": 200
                }

These parameters are explained with example below.

1) Execute with xpath "total"

> result is "12"

2)Execute with xpath "pagedata/data[2]/id"

> result is "3"

3) Execute with xpath "pagedata/data"

> result are

"id","name","year","color","pantone_value"
1,"cerulean",2000,"#98B2D1","We"
2,"fuchsia rose",2001,"#C74375","Freedom"
3,"true red",2002,"#BF1932","Soul"

if you want to find speicial key and value. use the 'Find all Opt' option or your json file structure must be like a example file structure

When you have a “list” marked with [] in your json, just specifying the list-key will return a table of listed elements in csv format.

In the advanced menu, you must check the Output Format as CSV and you must check Find all Opt (options = elements) and leave the text box blank

4) Execute with xpath "pagedata/invalid" with "Raise Except Flag"

> return Error

5) Execute with xpath "pagedata/invalid" without "Raise Except Flag"

> return Error

==> no need this option.

* "Opt Output Format" is only "csv"

6) Execute with xpath "pagedata/data" with "Get length"

> result are "3"

7) Execute with xpath "pagedata/data" with "AND Filter", "id=2" (this "AND Filter" can be mupliple)

> result are

"id","name","year","color","pantone_value"
2,"fuchsia rose",2001,"#C74375","Freedom"

8) Execute with xpath "pagedata/data" with "OR Filter", "id=2", "OR Filter", "id=3"

(this "AND Filter" can be mupliple)

> result are

"id","name","year","color","pantone_value"
2,"fuchsia rose",2001,"#C74375","Freedom"
3,"true red",2002,"#BF1932","Soul"

* "Find all Opt" option is gathers all data matching key value.

* "Cell key" option is defined then this column value is valid (exists and not empty).

* "Exclude index" option is 1 and "Exclude value" is "Item" then in csv result first column value is "Item" rows are excluded.
